Let's go on an Outback Safari these April school holidays

Grab your safari hat and make your way to The Workshops Rail Museum this school holidays for hands-on animal themed activities and the exciting new exhibition A Room for Wild Animals.

From 1 to 17 April, young visitors can create their own binoculars, try their hand at colouring and collage, and follow animal tracks through the Museum.

Director of Collections, Research and Lifelong Learning Alex Hayward said Outback Safari features activities inspired by the 20 taxidermy specimens in A Room for Wild Animals and is a fantastic way for young visitors to engage with the exhibition.

“The exhibition teaches us a lot about the diversity of wildlife around the world, encouraging young minds to think about animal habitat protection and conservation,” Mr Hayward said.

Outback Safari is packed full of things for the whole family to see and do:

Colour and collage your favourite Australian animal at Creation Station

Create your own wild animal pencil topper

Make binoculars to take with you on safari

Follow the animal trail by locating and identifying animal tracks through the Museum
